Brand new Bergera 300 win mag not shooting accurately

[Korhil78]

I couldn't get the Nosler ABLR to shoot out of my rifles at all, even with jumping them. I just gave up on them and went with the 215 Gr Berger.

I was going to recommend, since this is a new bullet, to start over on a seating depth test with a minimum charge of powder for that powder and bullet combo. It should tell you what it likes with that bullet.

Well, I have nearly shot up the box of Noslers and never could get an accurate group. I have another brand new box which I will not open, but will try to trade. The only thing I have not tried is shooting them close to jam. But everyone says they need jump. I may try, but I am greatly disappointed in them. I have some Bergers. They shoot a little better, but not like Hornady's. I also have some Sierra match kings I have not tried yet. But I have improved my Hornady load as I found a different way to measure jam. I set these at .010 jump and am making a ragged hole at 100 yards. So all I need is to find Hornady bullets.

I'm on the list for Sub-Xs, have been for 6 months. Sucks, but that's life right now. I did get a funnel today from the same backorder finally.

Grafs will let you backorder them also, not sure if they charge up front or not.

Just shot this group out of a buddies Bergara 300wm with 190gr SMK's 100yds.
No idea on the load but appear to be seated to SAMMI OAL?
Rifle only has maybe 40 rounds on the barrel

That is excellent. looks like he is not going through what I did. Now that I have had mine glass bedded and found the load, I can say it is now shooting. I wish I did not have to go through what I did, but I am happy now. I have heard that these rifles are accurate right out of the box for some. Mine is now.

I still can't believe you just didn't send back to Bergara.
